Kroger — Local services in Johnson City

I come here often - 1 to 2 times a week. I love the fresh produce section, everything is clean, well kept, no dead leaves on the veggies and the fruits are great. The organic section is the same or better than a health food store nearby and about a third of the price or even better. I was buying organic swiss chard for $2.49 a bundle of anywhere from 8 to maybe 10 leaves. The first time I went to Kroger a few months ago, I saw the same brand/farm provider of swiss chard and it was sold by the pound, my little bundle was a dollar!!!??? So I went back and have kept going back and do my other grocery shopping there also. They have their own brand-name products also.

I used to go to 2 or 3 markets to get what I wanted at good prices because I was saving money and one market didn't have everything I wanted. Now that I go to Kroger, I probably save more money because I just go to one market, I get great prices, I save time from multiple store shopping and I save time which I really need since I was wasting time and energy going shopping every week.

Staff are friendly, I like the self-check out area - easy to use and a clerk is nearby to assist. I usually go there for fresh produce, but they also have a large bakery area as well as fresh flowers, good greeting card selections, frozen aisles and everything else that most well stocked grocery stores have - but the prices and neatness of everything make it easy to shop there - I'm not wondering around like another store I used to shop at and couldn't find a thing.

Kroger's gas station is in the parking lot and their price is better than the surrounding area. I haven't tried it yet, but I will the next time I need a fill up as the few cents I save going to Sam's is a savings in time and gas just to get to Sams.

I've been to Kroger's in two other states and never liked the store look or brand, but this particular location is my favorite in JC.

2022 update two years later. I’m so glad Kroger’s has figured out a way to keep their doors open later (11pm) when everyone else has closed by 7 or 8 pm.

Its the same as before, with fresh produce and stocked shelves, helpful staff. There’s a new grocery store to the area but their prices are a little higher, but they also stay open a little longer.

Kroger has been a blessing. Thank you to the staff and management for doing a good job, clean and well stocked store, still with good prices...

If I could give this store zero stars I would. I never wrote these kind of reviews. I’m an InstaCart shopper and on the app, it specifically tells you if your customer (the one you’re shopping for) is using OnLine Pay, you can’t use the self checkout. Tonight, March 28th around 9:30 I was trying to checkout with a customer’s order. My boyfriend asked the guy working the guest care center if we could checkout with him— he said to go to checkout lane 4 because the cashier was in the bathroom. No problem. We stood there for about five minutes before the woman working at self checkout, she wore glasses and had long brown hair and it was braided, came over and asked if we were waiting for something. Remind you, we were only standing there because the other cashier said to. She proceeded to tell us that their systems had updated and I could use self checkout… I had no idea simply because Instacart hasn’t updated their terms and quite frankly I don’t work at Kroger. I tried explaining to her what it said and she laughed and turned her back and said “if you want to checkout you have to do it yourself because there’s no one else.” For one, I don’t appreciate the belittling attitude she demonstrated towards us and expected us to know something when we aren’t employees ourself. Don’t treat customers like they’re idiots. It’s common sense and don’t laugh at them when they’re trying to explain something. Aside from that, the rest of the employees have been helpful and I hate to have experienced such a negative...

It has a good selection of organic foods, greens, etc. I like their produce dept most of all but they also have good dairy, eggs, meats, and many other things. They very often have pricing errors where you're charged more or less than what the item is advertised for. Several of them act quite goofy. With so many other good stores in the area, I don't need to shop at this store any more. I don't like some of their employees. Especially a very rude blonde girl who works in the natural food dept. I feel that they're rude and that they don't treat all customers the same.

"Always a clean area"? Take a look along the fence that goes down to Earth Fare (7-16-2017). It's FULL of papers, bags, receipts, candy wrappers, sales flyers, cans, that all blows off the parking lot. They have employees in there shooting the breeze every day and they can't get them to take 10-15 minutes a day to pick up trash. This is the manager's fault. He couldn't care less about the by products of his business. The sad reality is that their mgr doesn't care if you like his employees or not, and I don't, and I also don't like him. He doesn't care about the environment or if trash blows into our streams and lakes or oceans. He just doesn't care. Kroger is a greedy careless...
